Lincoln Riley leaving Oklahoma for USC? Makes sense, much easier path to success for USC than for OU in the SEC.

That’s a big loss for OU. Maybe Ed Orgeron can take over and use Sooner talent along with his magical SEC insider knowledge to make it even easier for the Sooners to dominate a “two-good-team” SEC.

I will laugh if Oklahoma hires Orgeron. Too bad Riley didn’t use his Oklahoma talent to win the “no good team” Big12 this year. This move does shed some light on the pecking order of programs and desirability of coaching positions.

I was kidding with that part, but it would be funny.

There is more talent in the Big 12 than you imagine. You are blinded by the SECs ability to field two very good teams out of twelve every year. When those two Big 12 teams arrive in the SEC the power make up will change and change dramatically. When, not if but when, college football mans up and goes to a real playoff (rather than the votes of fat old guys like me) the whole system will change entirely and become far more talent focused. This year, it is Georgia all the way by my guess.

The Big12 is much closer to the AAC or C-USA than the SEC in talent.

So you keep saying. And I keep disagreeing. I will say that if Riley takes the freshman QB (Williams) with him OU will have a few years of hard work ahead of them.

I keep posting facts, and you keep disagreeing with feels
When I posted facts you called it “history.” All history is a collection of facts and I feel fine about that.

I stick to my point. OU and Texas will upset the balance of power in the SEC. Not every year, not every game, but things will change.

You posted all time records which go back 100 years. I posted current nfl rosters, which is recent history and trends. Texas flat out sucks and OU is in for a rude awakening especially now searching for a coach along with other football powers

If history is any predictor, Head Coaches of good Cinci teams bail the next year. Don't overlook Fickel going to OU.

See! I already beat that “fake news” by comparing winners to losers in the NFL…the Big 10 seems to rule the roost when it comes to that. I already noted the pain OU will feel in the coaching search for the next year or two. I wonder who they’ll get?
